Quick Text Color

Simple JavaScript node package to create colorful terminal output

QuickTestColor contains standard ANSI terminal color codes for foreground, background, bright/dim, blink, reverse, blink, and hidden formats. In addition, QuickTestColor defines a simple dot notation format that is parsed, returning a string with embedded ANSI codes begin/reset elements

Requires:

• Node 12.x, maybe earlier

Usage:

Simple example, hand-jamming codes in a string

const QuickTextColor = require('../src/QuickTextColor');

let qtc = new QuickTextColor()

console.log(`This is a ${qtc.FgYellow}Yellow Test${qtc.Reset}. Test out`);

Results:

This is a Yellow Test. Test out

Example using dot-notation in a string

const QuickTextColor = require('../src/QuickTextColor');

let qtc = new QuickTextColor()

console.log(qtc.insertColors('This is a .yYellow Test.. Test out'));

console.log(qtc.insertColors('This is a .bBlue Test.. Test out'));

Results:

This is a Yellow Test. Test out

This is a Blue Test. Test out

Miscellany

Near Future to-dos

Parse multiple color codes...only handle 1 dot-code per line and only FG color (yellow or blue)

Define dot-code for separate FG/BG/Other codes

Version History

0.0.1 - Initial build to ensure dot-codes are doable
